Story of Our Lives
Story of Our Lives | Helen Warner
11 posts | 5 read | 26 to read
Four friends. Twenty years. One powerful secret. There are certain dates on which you'll always remember where you were...The day Princess Diana died. 9/11. The London 2012 opening ceremony. The same is true for Sophie, Emily, Amy and Melissa who have been best friends since they met twenty years ago. As history has moved on around them, they have seen each other through everything. From Sophie's secret fear that she doesn't actually want to be a mother despite having two kids, to Amy's perfect-on-the-outside-abusive-on-the inside marriage to Melissa's spiralling alcoholism and Emily's single motherhood. But could a lie that spans just as long tear them apart? A moving, unputdownable novel about four incredible friendships, and the stories we all share, The Story of Our Lives is a treat for fans of The Versions of Us and One Day.

Finished this book last night in my favorite reading spot. The puppy was feeling left out so he had to be in the picture too! Lots of drama, moves fast, and will make you smile what more could you want from a summer read.

#HeyJune #WeCanWorkItOut

This novel popped up in my head for today's prompt as there is so very much to be worked out in it. Four female friends have almost every issue you can think of in the decade the book covers--some issues are with each other, most are within their own lives, & sometimes it all intersects. It's got dark spots/subjects, but humor & lighter moments too & it's set in various beach locations in Britain-so a good summer read.🌞

Cinfhen Sounds great!!! 6y

#MarchIntoOz #TheHoneymoonIsOver 🖤For one of the characters in this novel about four friends, the honeymoon is over before it even begins when she finds out that her husband is an abuser--on her wedding night. (Despite this and other heavy issues, the book is not a downer.) Collage photos from Pinterest

Cinfhen Love the black & white photo of the bride ❤️ 6y

Episodic and soap-y novel of female friendship with every issue you can think of but ultimately easy, breezy, and engaging. Full review at https://booknaround.blogspot.com/2018/02/review-story-of-our-lives-by-helen.html

I'm a bit of a sucker for books about women's friendships-especially over years, even decades as they grow & evolve. Sophie, Melissa, Amy & Emma's lives are covered from 1997-2007 as they meet up for 'girl's weekends' & share good times & bad while keeping some big secrets. A good escape novel-heavier subjects, paired with lighter moments. Here with Bagels & Lox with homemade Veggie Cream Cheese for my blog book tour review. Recipe/review link👇🏻

monalyisha Great words! As a kid, “cerulean” was my favorite Crayola crayon but I called it “crew-lean.” 🙈💙 6y
